IGN has posted some new screens. It looks like a lot of them are from the E3 trailer and cover the areas we already know about. There are a few shots I haven't seen anywhere else, however.

SantaC · Jul 30, 2004

wont be GOTY 2005. Zelda is slated for that.

solarplexus · Jul 30, 2004

yes, all screens are from e3 trailer.

IAWTP (Zelda)
Sometimes RE4 looks almost photorealistic... Well, the press will like it (like Manhunt)

Something about this game just looks bland to me. Maybe it's the brown color scheme or something.

It is partially a subdued color palette. I think the lack of stark contrast is also playing a part. At a time when a lot games are going for broke with their shadowing and lighting effects, RE4 doesn't seem as impressive. What is impressive is the detail and open evironments filled with plenty of mid to high polygon models.

Well, its a fall, quasi winter environment in an european region, thats what it looks like. The environments remind me a lot of quebec during november. It is brown

"Hey guys, I bet you can't spread a two minute E3 trailer over three months of updates!"

I'm quite happy it looks the way it does. Shrinkwrap style specular highlights and black cardboard silhouette type shadows need to go away.

OG_Original Gamer · Jul 30, 2004

Some of the images are new to me.

I'm confused with what one percieved flaw in art design has to do with another one.

Don't worry, you've confused me as well. But for the record i'll reword my statement:

"I am happy with the way RE4 looks, partly because it doesn't overuse specular highlights and sharply defined shadows like so many games"

Does that lessen your confusion?

I think too much is being revealed. I hope there are still some surprised left when I plunk down $50.

I really like this screenshot

Yeah, IGN's reuse of May E3 media is becoming tiring. That said, these are horrible low-resolution grabs. These captures do not do justice IMO to the game I played at E3. I feel the same way regarding many MGS3 captures. Buggy Loop once described why the GC doesn't produce great screenshots, something regarding the framebuffer grabs. (& how IGN does them) If you notice, many of Game Informers pics were superior. I saw one new shot of Leon & the prez's daughter in the graveyard, aside from that there wasn't really anything new.

Gamespot made an article once on the subject

Xbox has it nice when it comes to screen captures. PS2 and gamecube is via capture cards, unless the screenshots come directly from the developers and even then, devs dont bother much with taking direct grabs of GC, most of them its still with a capture card. I remember IGN saying that Factor5 had found a way, but it seems like its only exclusive to them.

ToyMachine228 · Jul 30, 2004

That is one of the only new screenshots I see in that batch

Thanks for the clarification & info BL.

IGN's site is a nightmare to navigate. Even just to see a batch of pics. shouldnt take that long.
